Young Canadians are asking AI companies to make their chatbots less addictive.

That tells you something important — and it's not about teenagers.

It tells you AI tools are designed to keep you engaged, not to get results and get out of your way. If your team bought a tool nobody uses, the tool probably wasn't built around your workflow. It was built to be sticky.

That's not your failure. That's a design problem.

Here's the shift worth making. Stop evaluating AI tools by their features. Start evaluating them by one question: does this solve a specific problem my team already has, in the time they're already spending?

If the answer isn't an immediate yes, walk away. The right AI tool for your business should feel like removing friction, not adding a new habit to manage.

One practical move this week: pick your single most repetitive task — proposals, follow-up emails, meeting notes — and test one free tool on just that task for two weeks. Nothing else. Measure time saved. That's your first real data point.

Small proof beats big promises every time.

What's the one task you keep wishing someone else could handle for you?
